Because it when this way *sobs*

If only Jan Di did so too…

Here are the 1st two parts

Who did the better F4?
I’m obviously bias

Boys Before Flowers, Meteor Garden & Hana Yori Dango

My Verdicts

Meteor Garden:
Part 1 = 19 episodes, Part 2 = 31 episodes.

I tried watching it again previously while waiting for BBF, but it was too Painful and I stopped at episode 1 *LOL*

Even back in 2001 and 2002, I felt the drama was too long and slow *yawns* The boys’ acting — being newbies — were stiff and awkward.

Hana Yori Dango:
Part 1 = 9 episodes, Part 2 (Hana Yori Dango Returns) = 11 episodes.

I’ve only watched Part 1. The drama moves very swiftly compared to MG 1, without compromising any details.

The series ends with Hana Yori Dango Final, and that was made into a film.

I’ve got to find both. ASAP! *heh*

Boys Before Flowers:
25 episodes in total. And I enjoyed every one of it! ♥

I’m currently re-watching — whenever possible — and stopped at episode 6 now.

The storyline sums up everything from MG 1 and 2. So I suspect I’ll find it the same for HYD Returns. But let’s watch that before deciding

If you’ve not watched either of the 3 versions — Taiwan, Japan or South Korea’s — Boys Before Flowers is definitely the one to choose! *bias alert*

Shōjo Manga Writer and Owner, Yoko Kamio insisted a 2 year policy break for any remake of her manga. So it’ll be 2011, before we get to see Ji Hoo Sunbae again *sobs*

Btw, China is in production for their very own adaptation too! (-__-|||)

Have you been infected by Anycall’s Haptic Pop yet? The mobile phone you saw in Boys Before Flowers, and probably wonders if we can grab one in Malaysia. I know I did

What’s your verdict?

Can’t make up your mind?
Maybe HE can help

The people at Anycall Corp came up with a clever marketing gimmick and put together a Reality TV called Haptic Mission, to find their next Ambassador. The last standing Idol fulfilling all Missions would be selected *hmm*

If Anycall’s sales did not sky rocket from this effort, the TV rating would definitely be booming. Kudos to the Mastermind behind this!

The fans also benefited the most from this campaign as their Idols, come face to face with them through the Missions. I don’t mind being one of those screaming students at Yale Design High School in Season 2, Episode 5 *drools*

The Original F3 and Flower Girl, Season 1
Kim Joon, Kim Hyun Joong, Son Dam Bi and Kim Bum

Thanks to all the dedicated fans that helped subbed the episodes with English, I get to watch and understand too! Kamsahamnida ♥

*Juvenile Crush Alert!*

Gosh, I feel like a teenager again. And I thank God that you cannot see me drooling *wipes self* *LOL* I am totally star*struck by this Kid Groom below. If you’ve read The Other Boy in my Life back in March when my unbecoming crush began, this would be old news *yawns*

Since We Got Married and Boys Before Flowers have finished, I’ve missed seeing his crazy-amazing-smile that is unbelievably contagious. Watch him in WGM, BBF or any South Korea Reality Show on YouTube and you’ll know what I mean. I’m not just being bias! *cross my heart*

For just this once — bear with me okay — I’m going to fill up Mellomouse with this handsome face, other than my furry four legged one ♥

I knew alas Goo JunPyo and Geum JanDi would be together, but how the ending would unfold I did not know.

So finally about 30 minutes ago, I watched it and I am contended. Although I would have preferred that Yoon JiHoo got his happily ever after, but we all know that being caught in a love triangle — the 3rd person evidently will get the red card.

But don’t they look cute together?

My Verdict:

I’ve enjoyed all 25 episodes! ♥

And it is true to the saying — 3rd time is the charm! KBS2′s version of Hana Yori Dango definitely has a better storyline and *ahem* better looking Flower Boys.

If you’ve watch Meteor Garden back in 2002, you will surely love Kkot Boda Namja aka Boys Before Flowers

Watch it yourself and be the judge!

I do think that I have gone out of my mind with too much spare time in my hands. I wonder if any good could come out of my recent curious obsession.

I’m currently watching the Japanese and Korean drama adaption of Japan’s shōjo manga by Yoko Kamio. The Taiwanese was the first to make this into a TV drama back in 2001, by the name Meteor Garden. After receiving a huge success, Japan followed suit in 2005 and now the Korean is also giving it a go.

Although I’m not done with either Hanayori Dango (6 more to go) or Kkot boda Namja (12 more to go), I think I like the Korean version better *2 thumbs up*

Which one would you like?
